City of Richmond in California Selects Beam Global EV ARC™ Product to Power Car Share Program in Underserved Community
29 Februar 2024 - 12:00PM
Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM, BEEMW), a leading provider of
innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the
electrification of transportation and energy security, announced
that the City of Richmond in California has selected EV ARC™
sustainable electric vehicle (EV) charging to power their car share
program, which offers flexible transportation benefitting
underserved communities. EV ARC™ systems are purchased through the
California Department of General Services (DGS) Contract
#1-22-61-16, which serves to simplify the government procurement
process and make select solutions available statewide at the best
negotiated pricing.
Because EV ARC™ systems generate and store their own clean
electricity, there is no utility bill to pay, making them an ideal
solution for car share programs especially in underserved
communities. Ease of deployment, the lack of requirements for grid
connectivity and the ability to move EV ARC™ systems bring
additional benefits which enable car sharing in locations where
infrastructure requirements might otherwise be prohibitively
expensive, time consuming or disruptive.
This initiative is part of the Clean Mobility Options Voucher
Pilot Project (CMO) program, made possible by Richmond Community
Foundation, Miocar and funding from the California Air Resources
Board (CARB). The program includes electric vehicles and
sustainable charging to provide underserved community members
access to clean transportation.
Community members in the Parchester Village area of Richmond are
eligible to benefit from this car share program for a small hourly
or daily cost, giving them access to clean and reliable
transportation. When charged with an EV ARC™, each EV has a zero
emissions footprint. The charging system also serves as disaster
preparedness with the inclusion of the Emergency Power Panel, which
provides off-grid electricity to first responders in case of
emergency or grid outage. The City of Richmond remains a powerful
leader in sustainability and innovation.
“We’ve seen an increase in car share programs across the country
and they can be especially life-changing in underserved
communities,” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “When
cities like Richmond invest in a car share program, especially one
with EVs and solar charging infrastructure, there is an immense
positive impact on individuals and communities without adding any
environmental harm. We’re thrilled they have chosen our EV ARC
product to support this program.”
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), people that live in low-income or disadvantaged communities
are more likely to experience negative health impacts as a result
of air pollution exposure. Giving residents the opportunity to
choose clean mobility transportation with no environmental impact
will not only benefit the surrounding environment but also
positively contribute to air pollution-related health issues to
residents.
